I'm still doing okay on my planks challenge. It's actually the easiest challenge I've done. I can find a few minutes every day -- during a commercial break or while I'm waiting for my dinner to cook.
Making myself do longer workouts is the challenge. Believe me - I have time for a 30-minute, 45-minute or even an hour long workout, but I just can't get motivated. At least not as often as I want to. Last week, I went for an awesome run and then had a great yoga class. I also did some Zumba. I felt amazing after each workout. Why can't I remember that when I feel like the TV, computer and couch seem to be calling my name?
Ah yes. The cold weather. The early darkness. It just kills my motivation. That's really a poor excuse because I know other people beat and get their workouts in.
But oh well. As long as I'm hanging in there and still doing something each week, I won't beat myself up too much. But I really do need to get moving more often. I'll keep trying.
Weight-loss goal: 40 lbs.
This week's progress: -0.4 lbs.
Progress to date: -35.6 lbs.
Non-scale victory: My run last Tuesday was amazing. I wish the weather was that nice again. 50s. Instead, it looks like winter has really set in. I may have to embrace the dreadmill.
The cold weather kills my workout motivation too. I get home from work at 6p and it's dark! :( My couch and DVR look so much more tempting than my Booty Sculpt videos.
